There seven different categories of AIHA, warm-antibody AIHA (wAIHA); cold-antibody that includes cold agglutinin syndrome (CAS) and agglutin disease (CAD); mixed also called combined warm AIHA; paroxysmal hemoglobinuria (PCH) termed Donath-Lansteiner test-positive direct antiglobulin test-negative (DAT-neg AIHA); drug-induced immune anemia (DIIHA); passenger lymphocyte syndrome. This review will discuss each these AIHAs provide information on diagnosis treatment.
